Chapter 434 Silver falls from the sky
While she was thinking, Xiaoxiao said: "A thousand pieces of gold are hard to come by? Then whoever can give a thousand taels, I'll give her one."
There were many people present with prominent family backgrounds. Even if they couldn't afford it themselves, they might also know one or two rich people who had money and nothing to spend it on. I was really moved when I heard this.
You Qi Xiaoxiao also said: "There are not many, just five plants, first come, first served."
Five plants!
After the flower-viewing banquet, not only was Xiaoxiao unscathed, she also received an order of five thousand taels, which provided her with the capital to open a shop in the capital.
"Come back to the General's Mansion with me to see the flowers. You can pick out the ones you like."
Gu Ruoruo thinks it's okay, otherwise she's afraid that Xiaoxiao's criterion for choosing for her is which one looks good on the plate and which one will be given to her.
When walking out of the courtyard, Xiaoxiao waved her hand without Gu Ruoruo noticing, and Rong Yan walked out from the corner.
"it's over?"
Gu Ruoruo's eyes widened, Rong Yan nodded to her: "I'll pick up Xiaoxiao."
Twelve and Seventeen couldn't help but ran around where he came out. When they came back, they looked in admiration: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness is so skilled!"
Neither of them felt his presence at all.
The two became increasingly vigilant and secretly decided in their hearts that they must be more cautious when protecting the eldest lady in the future.
Fortunately, His Highness is here today. If he were an expert with evil intentions, wouldn't the eldest lady be in danger?
If it weren't for Rong Yan's strong request, Xiaoxiao would have taken the person home directly.
But this is what he said: "If you leave me in space, if I encounter danger, it will be inconvenient for me to help."
Xiaoxiao said: "Then if you always appear with me, people will say that your son and daughter are in love."
Rong Yan smiled and asked, "So what?"
"I love you, and it's not something you should be ashamed of letting others know."
Xiaoxiao was immediately convinced by him and happily sprinkled Gu Ruoruo with dog food all the way.
When the little girl arrived at the General's Mansion, she was almost full before she even had the meal.
But she was still quite happy for Xiaoxiao. Although His Highness the Third Prince was not very favored, he was still a prince with military exploits. The fact that he could treat Xiaoxiao so well regardless of worldly opinions meant that he really cared about her in his heart.
Gu Ruoruo heard Xiaoxiao say that there were "a lot" of flowers at home, but she didn't expect there to be so many.
Looking at the orchids that were randomly placed, she said that half of them were at her hometown in Fuyuan Village. She also heard that she had dug them back from digging wild vegetables in the mountains...
Gu Ruoruo took a sip of tea angrily: "That's enough, stop talking."
Listening again, she was afraid that she would pack her bags and run to Fuyuan Village tomorrow.
The tea tasted fragrant and sweet, and it was chrysanthemum. Gu Ruoruo looked down and froze.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Xiaoxiao said: "Chrysanthemum."
Gu Ruoruo pinched the bridge of her nose like an old scholar and asked, "What's the origin of the chrysanthemum used to make tea?"
Xiaoxiao pulled out a pot of golden chrysanthemum from the corner: "Here it is, I branched it when I had nothing to do, and it grew into a large piece. I think this flower is blooming well, but it doesn't bear fruit, so it failed. It’s a pity, so I just dried it and used it to make tea.”
Gu Ruoruo decided to talk to Shen Tianci later. She couldn't just leave. Shen Tianci still had to go back to Xijiang County to study. Xijiang County was not far from Fuyuan Village, right?
Didn't Shen Tianci say that he had a hard time studying, so after that hard work, it would be nice to walk in the countryside, see the wonderful natural scenery, and have an outing in the countryside.
Probably because she saw Xiaoxiao's luxurious scented tea, Gu Ruoruo was very calm about choosing gifts for herself. She calmly chose two——
There is a pot of emerald green and a pot of plain crown and lotus cauldron.
"Although I don't know what kind of orchid it is, it just suits my eyes."
Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up: "Good vision."
Gu Ruoruo looked at this person who seemed to know nothing about flowers in surprise, and then Xiaoxiao said: "There are few flowers in bloom, so it's not easy to put them on the plate."
Gu Ruoruo didn't want to chat with her anymore, but she still wanted to ask.
"Are you really going to sell the flowers?"
Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, the money you picked up for free is not free of charge."
"There are a lot of places I'm going to spend my money next."
Gu Ruoruo naturally thought of her marriage and the financial situation of the General's Mansion over the years, and then she felt sincerely that it was not easy for Xiaoxiao, even the dowry had to be taken care of by herself.
She asked: "Is five plants enough? How about selling more?"
Xiaoxiao was surprised by her change of attitude, but she still explained seriously: "Things are rare and expensive. No matter how many there are, they won't be sold at a good price."
Just as Gu Ruoruo was about to praise, she added, "And if I sell them all, I won't have any use for them."
Gu Ruoruo didn't want to know how she meant "use" at all.
After eating and drinking, Gu Ruoruo returned home with flowers. Not long after, she was carried back by Bachelor Gu. She watched helplessly as her grandfather fell silent after drinking a cup of scented tea, and then looked at her with no surprise at all. Grandpa Zu and Little Grandpa went to pick flowers, and then couldn't help but roll their eyes at Xiaoxiao, who had an innocent face.
Starting from the next day, Xiaoxiao received one thousand taels of silver every day. When she got the five thousand taels, she went to look for her second brother with great pride.
Ning An rubbed his eyes hard: "Why does this thing only have my money? It's not worth such a lot of money even if I sell the shop."
Xiaoxiao reminded him: "Do you still remember the grass you brought when you came to the capital? I sold it."
Of course, he must remember that his sister asked him to go to Beijing and bring a cart full of grass from the yard at home. He had been wondering for a long time. He could understand the chrysanthemums that his sister wanted to dry, because the flowers were big, fragrant and convenient for making tea. It's still angry, but what's the point of the grass?
He was startled: "What did you just say you sold?"
"Just those green grass leaves, sold for five thousand taels?"
Xiaoxiao stretched out a slap: "I only bought five plants, and I will sell the rest after a while."
It took Ning Anhui a long time to digest this fact, and he realized that the rich in the capital were so stupid and rich, but...
"I can't take this money. You dug up the grass and planted it, so the money should also be yours."
How could he, an older brother, take advantage of his sister? Besides, my sister has just gotten engaged, and she’s still going to marry a prince, so why don’t she prepare some extravagant dowry?
Xiaoxiao held her chin up and did not reach out to take the banknote: "But brother, I just dug them back from Dayan Mountain, occasionally tossing them, watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil, and transplanting them. Which one didn't you and big brother help me with?"
Especially the second brother, he complained a lot about Xiaoxiao's unique taste and moved all kinds of weeds and wild flowers to the house, but he was also the first one to pick up a small shovel and help Xiaoxiao transplant them.
Even when I felt that the weather was going to change, I quietly built a shed for these flowers and plants.
"The second brother loves me the most, I really like the second brother!"
Such straightforward words made the already married Ning An blush and scratch her head. Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation and said: "Besides, second brother, aren't you worried that the cost of opening a shop in the capital is too high? No, God will send you the capital right away. ”
"It can be seen that there is God's will in the dark."
"Second brother, you can give it a try. Anyway, the money to open a shop is falling from the sky."
